Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 64837
Gene name Kinesin light chain 2
Gene symbol KLC2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
-
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q13.2
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a light chain of kinesin, a molecular motor responsible for moving vesicles and organelles along microtubules. Defects in this gene are a cause of spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy (SPOAN) syndrome. [pro
